metafieldDefinitionUnpin

mutation

Requires API client to have access to the namespace and the resource type associated with the metafield definition.

You can organize your metafields in your Shopify admin by pinning/unpinning metafield definitions. The order of your pinned metafield definitions determines the order in which your metafields are displayed on the corresponding pages in your Shopify admin. By default, only pinned metafields are automatically displayed.
